  • Hi everyone

    I was just chatting to Katsu on the phone and she said she has got a really nasty virus on her pc which neither she nor OH can kill but they know a man who can (fingers, eyes and legs crossed!!!! ;))

    She said to say hi to you all and to say she'll be back posting as soon as she can. Hope you're all ok and enjoying the weekend....I'm torn between catching up on reading (my library books are overdue again!); more knitting to clear some of the balls of wool which seem to be breeding in the bag when I'm not looking and faffing about on the internet.......

    Maybe it's about time I looked at the prospectus for the OU again and started doing something taxing and constructive. Have wanted to get a degree for years after circumstances didn't allow when I was 18, but now it will be for my own satisfaction as opposed to work opportunities. Getting back to being well enough to return to the workplace would be a major achievement.......we shall have to see!

    ah, didn't realise that Bun. To be honest, if it were me, I'd prefer to do it like that. I wouldn't like the intimacy of a 1:1 situation in my house with the consultant.
